5 spokes set cavs off real well but have to be low profile and around 17-18" alot of great looking cavs with other wheels in the pictures too tho. i spent months searching for wheels. its so hard because without seeing them on you cant tell if there for you or not. once you bought them you cant turn back :s

You mean the 2wd gsi in the pics? That wont have as much weight at the rear without the diff shafts ect.

ive tried so many rear springs now and cavs still way too low for me. only had two sets of 4wd ones and they must be -60s

had corsa rear springs on my old sri cav and the ride was pish with them.
